trying out the new feed from deepceleron. looks to be good. it's currently grabbing the history for me. to make sure i'm doing this right:
for the windows exe, the multiple exchanges option should look like this, right? "sierrachartfeed.exe -s mtgoxUSD,bitstampUSD,btceUSD"

ozcoin hacked last week, slush earlier this week, now bitcoin central... sheesh.

I just had noticed my "Processing" is ready, so i withdrew my 0.2.... Goodby, and thanks for all the fish.  ah, yea. there we go. got my .03 and change out. |
|
|
|
Status on "processing" funds?
i THINK those are the ones we can withdraw two weeks from the closing announcement, which would be... hmm. today... uhm... yea. |

ya know, i just realized something. for originally purely artistic purposes, i have the equipment and experience making etchings in salt water. i used it to make pretty brass plates. but, the technique i learned is from the how made PCB world. there by, all i need to get my hands on are blank pcb boards and i can etch them.
i can print out the design itself from a PC using a laser printer, then it's transferred as a mask via use of a heated iron. the mask protects the parts from etching, leaving the rest exposed. run a electrical current (i have a lab quality controlled watt/volt power supply for this) through it while submerged in saltwater and bingo. pcb's.
cheaper then going to a fab for small orders, eh?
if there's interest in me doing this, i'll get some blanks and start experimenting. been a while since i've done any of this.
This isn't quite how it's done. There is no electrical current used, and it's not salt water. Usually ferric chloride or ammonium persulfate is used. Laser printer transfers are unlikely to be fine enough resolution for 0.5mm pitch SMD devices. You could try but you will end up with inferior boards. Not to mention that 4 layer boards are typical for this application (though I am going to attempt 2 layers myself to save money) and a solder mask is pretty much mandatory (which means screen printing on top), and then thru hole plating (which does use electrolysis) (especially for this board as it requires thermal vias). The cost of ordering small batch PCBs from China is very reasonable. 2 Layers about $1.25 per 8-10 chip board, 4 layer about 4x this. Not meaning to put down your idea or efforts - just don't want others to get the idea this is a reasonable path. For more info see, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printed_circuit_boardwell, yes, acid is usually used, but the salt water etching works fine too. i'll agree the detail wouldn't be .5mm, and multiple layers... yea. points made. |

Link for hashrate?
it should be user 67117 (i think) on btc guild. |

you do know a while back adam posted saying, to paraphrase, "ah screw it." effectively saying to go at it as we wish, in this thread? please don't make me search it.

sigh... .25 btc short. |

seemed the forum worked fine to my bystander eyes.

Get a share while they're still cheap.
if i had more then .75 i would... |

looking forward to coming back.  |

just bought one from jagoo. about to redeem, but i notice the exchange rate being used is 137.31, while i show bitstamp at 116. just to double check, what i see on your site is bitstamps price plus giftcoins cut, right? meaning i won't redeem my $15 giftcard and see not just a higher exchange rate, but another fee too?
got impatient and redeemed it - "redeemed value" was $14, not 15 listed on the card. that plus the higher exchange rate hurts a little.
still - very easy way to buy coin, particularly with a credit card. (or debit in my case.) in fact, the card i used was my paypal debit. so this actually alloweds one ot go from paypal to btc, if you have the paypal card.

now, here's a question for ya. 300 mhash usb miner, or 1 share of AM? obviously over time the miner would barely bring in anything, while the share would grow. but right now, the miner would bring in significantly more per week.
thoughts? (just a "hmm. i wonder..." not an actual decision i'm looking at.)

Yea, but the cost of an fpga chip is significantly larger then an asic. Discounting the NRE anyway. That's significantly more then I could justify spending on one, especially if bfl delivers 5 ghash at $275. |

did he get the whole chunk of 934? fuuuuuck.
|

no worries from me graet. my meager 300 mhash will only payout on a full btc to help what little i can.

the problem with a carbon fiber suit (or jacket or anything else intended to flex like cloth) is that, without the resin, the carbon fibers themselves are very brittle and easily cut. also, they tend to unravel like mad. so, any clothing made from carbon fiber would be more like plates of the stuff sewn together or something.
could go with something akin to plate armor, or scale mail though.
